The Velvet Underground & Nico
The Velvet Underground
Pre listen: I don't think I will like , have avoided due to vocal so far
Post listen: Vocal was OK, like Rodriguez and see it's influnce on contemporary acts like foxxygen. I think at the time it would have been more exciting/ground breaking but to me it's a little dull. I gather they liked heroine from the lyrics
